Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742 Reaping What She Sows

Seeing both Nathaniel and Christina around gave Camila an instant boost of confidence. Hugging Nathaniel's neck, the girl said in a loud and clear voice, “Daddy, that evil woman added something to Granddad's drink before giving it to him.”

Even though Camila did not understand the complicated adult world that was filled with deception and manipulation, she could clearly tell good from bad and had exposed Azure's ulterior motives in the most candid manner.

“She had also asked Granddad to sign a letter of understanding to save Granduncle Nigel,” Lucas chimed in.

Upon hearing that, Christina and Nathaniel fully understood what was going on.

Barnaby, who happened to be looking for Azure, heard what the kids said and cast a sharp gaze at Azure and Timothy.

Supporting himself with his walking stick, the man asked, “What letter of understanding were they talking about?”

Azure tried to cover up the truth but her intentions were noticed by Christina. Christina dashed into the lounge at once, grabbing the documents from the table before Azure could do so.

Without looking at the contents of the documents, Christina looked toward Lyle, who was standing at the door, and said without a change in expression, “Lyle, please take Mr. Lucas and Ms. Camila out of the room.”

As Christina knew that the outcome would be messy, she did not want to taint the children's innocent world by allowing them to learn about the unscrupulous means used by adults to achieve their goals.

“Understood,” Lyle answered before leading Lucas and Camila away from the lounge.

After scrutinizing the documents, which were all about absolving Nigel of his crimes, Christina hurled the stack of documents on the ground furiously.

Everyone, especially Azure, was stunned. Out of guilt, Azure inched a few steps to the side. She could not help but worry that Christina would lose control and hit her.

“Not only had Nigel broken the law, but he had also committed a felony. He killed my mother. He had taken a life. How dare you shamelessly force us to forgive him?” Christina glanced at the wine that was spilled on the floor and said, “Mr. Taggart, can you please take a sample of the wine and send it to the lab? We will know if the wine was indeed spiked after an examination.”

As Timothy was one of the concerned parties, he had left Christina in charge of handling the matter while he quietly waited for justice to be served.

Barnaby had more or less understood the situation with everything he heard so far.

He was the one who brought Azure to the banquet. By stirring up trouble on the host's turf, she was not only ruining their day but also embarrassing him.

Sebastian looked toward Nathaniel with an inquiring gaze, and Nathaniel replied, “Do as Mrs. Hadley says.”

“Understood,” Sebastian replied before taking out a silk handkerchief to retrieve a sample of the wine from the floor. However, he was blocked by Barnaby's walking stick when he was walking past the man.

“Please wait,” Barnaby said. “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley, for my sake, can we please settle this privately? Since we are celebrating the grand opening of Mrs. Hadley's studio today, let's not create a scene and ruin such a wonderful day. Besides, it's also damaging to our families' reputations if outsiders see us fighting.”

Christina sneered and replied, “Old Mr. Stone, I didn't invite her. You were the one who brought her here. If she really cared about your reputation, she wouldn't have tried to set my father up at my event. Does it make sense that the culprit is asking the victim to take responsibility for their actions? Is the Stone family treating the Gibson family and the Hadley family as pushovers?”

Christina had given Azure a few chances previously, but not only did the woman not reflect on her actions and change her ways, but she had also continued pushing her luck.

“What happened?” Charlie scanned the surroundings suspiciously when he came back after taking the phone call and saw everyone standing in front of the lounge.
